Thanks for the reply Anup. I am only trying to get the mesh into ICEM.
My last trn file is full (the rest are partial), and I am only trying to
get the last timestep in.

I have a feeling that you are correct pertaining to the deformed mesh,
but I was hoping there was a way to it.

I do have a call in to support, but the tech was busy, and in the
meantime I thought someone on here might have an idea.

I try to aviod the Ansys customer portal, as it is as painful to use as
ICEM help documentation :)

Hi Edmund,

What type of trn files are you writing out? Have you tried writing out
'full' trn files? I didn't know ICEM could load trn files!

I do have feeling that CFX may only be storing the node displacements
and
uses this information to display the deformed mesh in Post. If this is
the
case, then you may have to write a junction box routine to dump out mesh
files with the latest node locations after each time step. (I have no
idea
how much effort this might require). Check with tech support or search
the
Ansys customer portal, I am sure this question has come up before.

Subject: [Xansys] [CFD][OTHER]Importing Mesh into ICEM

All:

I have a CFX transient results file(s) that I would like to use to
import into ICEM-CFD.

The analysis was a moving mesh problem, and I would like to get the last
trn file into ICEM.

When I use the run.res file, ICEM loads in the unmoved (0.trn) mesh and
I am unable to find a way to get it to load in a latter time step.

When I use the last trn file, ICEM once again loads in the unmoved mesh.

Anyone have experience with this? I have to admit I am at a loss.
